The photo was taken at brewpub Mad Fox Brewing Company, where, brewers, beer industry members, and good-beer fans in the mid-Atlantic gathered to roast (and bid farewell to) Nick Funnell, a British-trained brewer who, for 17 1/2 years, had been the executive brewmaster for Sweetwater Taverns in northern Virginia. In addition to winning numerous awards, Funnell trained brewers who went on to success at Sweetwater and elsewhere.
